But yeah, our state troopers are quite the over zealous bunch aren't they?
Louisiana state troopers are up there, too. 6 years ago, I got pulled over for doing 79 mph in a 75 mph zone. The trooper informed me that I was 4 mph over the speed limit and would be getting a ticket. I asked if it was necessary for such a small infringement (mind you, cars are blowing by us at upwards 80-90 mph as I'm receiving this lecture,) and he said "when the limit was 70 mph a few years prior, they let folks get away with the normal 5-10 mph over, but when they raised it to 75 mph, they had a strict 'no speeding' policy." So 79 mph in a 70 mph zone was fine, but 79 mph in a 75 mph zone is a no-no. $120 ticket, that one. Wouldn't bother me so much this long ago later if it hadn't been for the inane logic he tried to justify himself with; just tell me you're meeting quota and tell me to fuck off like a normal officer.
